My dog has burst growths on his penis. What could they be?

Question

Hello I'm really worried about my dog I have a red nose pitbull that is about 9 years old. I've had them for about 3 years. I noticed about a year ago that he was getting what look like tiny blueberries on the head of his penis area. They did not seem to grow up until just recently and they exploded they got really large both of them and now they became open stores overnight do you have any idea what these might be I cannot afford to take my dog in to a bed because I am on disability

These are some type of tumor/growth. I cannot tell you if they are benign or malignant...that would have to be done by analyzing the cells in these growths. The best option in this situation is to see your veterinarian to arrange to have them surgically removed and sent off for testing. If these are not removed, they will continue to get larger, likely become infected, bleed or may interfere with him being able to urinate if they get big enough. Unfortunately, there is no way for you to treat this on your own. Thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
